M4A4 | In Living Color

Origin Story

The M4A4 | In Living Color, released on May 3, 2021, as part of The End of Broken Fang update, is a Covert rifle from The Snakebite Collection. It features a custom paint job with neon colors and hand-drawn designs, giving it a vibrant, graffiti-like appearance. The community often views it as a premium M4A4 that stands out in-game, with its loud and colorful aesthetic making it a popular choice for those seeking a bold statement piece. Many traders consider it a strong base for bright or graffiti-style sticker crafts, appreciating how its chaotic art can help blend sticker borders.

Drop Chance

M4A4 | In Living Color is Covert, a Red-tier skin, the rarest standard drop grade. From the Snakebite Case: approximately 0.32% per opening (roughly 1 in 312). The 0.64% Covert tier rate is split across 2 Covert skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.03% from the Snakebite Case (about 1 in 3,125). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.79. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($192.81): The bright neon colors and hand-drawn designs are at their most saturated and crisp, with full coverage across the rifle.
• Minimal Wear ($70.10): Only slight edge wear appears on high-contact areas like the handguard and magazine, while the vibrant graffiti art remains largely intact.
• Field-Tested ($47.61): Noticeable chipping begins on exposed edges and flat surfaces, with some fine neon lines losing sharpness due to scratches.
• Well-Worn ($41.40): Larger areas of paint are missing on the receiver and handguard, causing portions of the neon artwork to appear muted and degraded.
• Battle-Scarred ($39.74): Heavy wear covers significant parts of the rifle, with large sections of paint gone and the neon doodles appearing fragmented and heavily scuffed.
